And as in the days of Noah means the Nephilim will reappear.

That would be "it is the days of Noah" not "as in the days of Noah". Jesus said specifically what elements would be similar between the days of Noah and the end of the age. None of those elements involved the Nephilim.

Matt. 24:37 - As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

Are you saying there were no Nephilim in the days of Noah?

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, [o]neither the Son, but the Father only. 37 And as were the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man. 38 For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, 39 and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

Good quote. But the following quote indicates the flood, and thus Noah, was because of the offspring of the Sons of God, the Nephilim among them :

Gen 6:1 When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them,
Gen 6:2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose.
Gen 6:3 Then the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years."
Gen 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.
Gen 6:5 The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Gen 6:6 And the LORD was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.
Gen 6:7 So the LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them."

The Lord likened his death to the falling of a seed into the ground and dies then it resurrects and brings forth fruit. Using figurative speech like that is pointing out certain similarities. Interpreting that to mean that Jesus was some form of aberrant wheat grain indicates a poor education and not understanding the use of figurative language.
